Corporate Rules for Growth

Corporate/Startup culture that needs to be changed: * Office Politics * Favoritism or favors given towards an employee * Micromanagement * Explanations for every leave taken * Glorifying Overworking * Expecting staff to be available 24/7 * Meetings that could have been an email * Unsympathetic Layoffs * Non Appreciating Behavior * Credits due to an employee * More than 3 rounds of job interviews

Who all should be actively avoided? 😛

Almost 50% of the org got no increments People with "exceeds" rating got single digit increments Only promotion cases have got early to mid double digit increments Promotions have been significantly fewer this time, max people have been told to hold off their expectations of promotions for another year The reasons cited were economic slowdown, other companies like Microsoft, Flipkart, swiggy, Amazon doing the same and cost cutting. I think things are getting toxic and the majority of employees have been left disappointed.

Does more work means more growth ?

How is the culture? Anyone worked/working there? Also, JD talks about 'ambiguous' and 'unstructured' team, so red flags showing already 🚩
